Indeed nations, in general, are not apt to think until they feel; and therefore nations in general have lost their liberty.

The Political Writings of John Dickinson, Esquire Vol. I (1801)

Let us take care of our rights, and we therein take care of our property. 'Slavery is ever preceded by sleep.'

It is inseparably essential to the freedom of a people that no taxes be imposed on them but with their own consent, given personally or by their representatives.

Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all!
By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall.

The Liberty Song (1768)

Then join in hand, brave Americans all!
By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall.
